A photograph of a festival float on a paved lot with trees behind. Two golden deity murtis, one in white and gold and one in blue, sit on a flower-decked ratha-style platform wrapped in red, white, green, yellow and purple garlands, with a gilded arch overhead. Two men flank the float: a young man in a dark navy jacket on the left, and an older man in glasses and a grey-green shirt on the right, who rests a hand on the platform. Orange and gold tinsel decorates the poles at the bottom edge.
